Honey is a unique natural source of vitamins and microelements necessary for the normal functioning of the body. Capable of fighting a whole list of ailments, it is actively used both in home and pharmacy medicine.
Is it possible to eat honey at night? Some believe that it can provoke a surge of strength and energy, thereby preventing healthy and sound sleep. Is it really? No, such beliefs are wrong.
Bee nectar has pronounced sedative properties, which allows it to:
- have a beneficial effect on the nervous system;
- have a powerful calming effect;
- actively fight insomnia.
In other words, a spoonful of honey at night will help you quickly escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, relax and go to sleep.
Will it help you sleep or vice versa?
It is recommended to consume honey before bed for those who suffer from chronic lack of sleep and fatigue.
We have already mentioned above the sedative properties of products - they actually manifest themselves quite clearly and speed up the process of falling asleep.
What is noteworthy is that a similar effect of the main beekeeping product was known back in ancient times. Doctors of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece noticed: people who drank a couple of spoons of honey at night fell asleep faster and had stronger sleep. They recorded their own observations in treatises, which later became the basis for the further development of medicine.
The ancient Russian Slavs also knew about the magical effects of honey. According to surviving chronicles, they used it as a sleeping pill - a natural cure for insomnia.
Of course, today pharmacies offer a wide range of drugs designed to calm the nervous system and facilitate the process of going to bed. However, most of them have many side effects. Honey mixture is not harmful to the body and helps to overcome “night sickness” without consequences.
Honey before bed as a sleeping pill
Even in ancient times, bee product was known as a sedative and hypnotic.
Ancient Greek and Roman healers, recommending it to their patients, successfully helped strengthen the nervous system of patients. They took honey before bed in Rus' too. The homeland of the Slavs was widely known to them, and our ancestors were successfully cured of diseases such as headaches, nervous fatigue and insomnia with bee products. Despite the fact that modern doctors use a variety of chemotherapy drugs, honey before bed is still an excellent way to cure many nervous diseases. If a person cannot get enough sleep, honey before bed will help cope with this. You need to mix 1 tablespoon of bee product and 1 glass of water (warm). Drink this solution half an hour before you need to fall asleep. The result of such therapy will not take long to arrive. If you take honey before bed, you can avoid sedatives and sleeping pills, because the bee product will not cause harm to the body. It has the ability to strengthen the nervous system and the entire body as a whole. It is because of these qualities that it, like a medicine, has no competitors. Therefore, most people prefer to take honey before bed.

The number of diseases of the nervous system is currently growing. Experts began to more often diagnose neuroses, neurasthenia, hysteria, cardiac neuroses, and chorea. Chorea is a chronic disease characterized by scattered, erratic muscle twitching. It is known that honey before bedtime copes well with diseases that cause mental and emotional stress, increased stress, abuse of alcohol, drugs, smoking, etc.
Calming synthetic drugs that relieve nervous tension, improve sleep, etc., have become very popular among millions of people. At the same time, neuropsychiatric disorders continue to appear. Chemotherapy was tried as a radical solution to the problem, but it didn’t work either. In addition, by taking honey before bed, a person does not become dependent, as with drugs. Chemotherapy drugs usually require an increase in dose for a more effective effect. Because of this, side effects increase, and in some cases drug-induced illness develops.
Psychotropic drugs over time cause addiction, which looks like a painful, irresistible craving for the drug. Pathological addiction that destroys the body also requires treatment. Needless to say, taking honey before bed does not have a similar effect. Even though bee products do not have such a strong effect as synthetic drugs, they are devoid of harmful side effects. In addition, chemotherapeutic agents reduce their “toxicity” if a bee product is taken together with them. By taking honey along with the medicine before bed, the patient will help his body better cope with the disease.
All this needs to be taken into account, and feel free to use honey before bed for treatment and prevention. Neuroses are well treated with a daily dose of bee product of 60-100 grams. But in this case, sweets are completely excluded. The required amount of honey is diluted in 500-800 ml of water (boiled, but at room temperature). The solution is drunk per day in three to four doses of 150-200 ml. The last time you take honey dissolved in water is before bed (30-40 minutes before). A course of treatment of 1-2 weeks significantly improves the patient's condition. Sleep is normalized, well-being, performance, etc. are improved.
Taking honey before bedtime helps a person sleep peacefully. But this miraculous remedy helps fight not only insomnia. Cardiac neuroses are also cured by bee products. This disease is characterized by the fact that in the absence of organic changes in the heart, a person continues to complain about it and be tormented. If you take honey before bed, you can achieve miraculous results: improved mood, reduced pain in the heart, normalization of its rhythm, loss of numbness in the limbs, feelings of fear, signs of excitement.
You should also drink honey dissolved in water before going to bed if you have chorea. In this case, the person will get rid of headaches and irritability. Sleep will return to normal, and involuntary movements will stop. Taking honey before bed is a good idea if you need help fighting muscle spasms. One tablespoon three times a day will bring the neuromuscular system back to normal in one to two weeks. In the event that spasms occur again, the bee product is taken much longer for prevention. There are many effective recipes that are recommended to treat increased irritability, nervous agitation and insomnia. If you take honey before bed, after diluting it into an infusion, you can improve your health and improve the condition of the nervous system.

Recipes for making honey drinks at night
Home medicine offers many options for preparing honey mixtures. Some of them pursue exclusively calming purposes, while others have a wider spectrum of action.
For example, they can have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract or strengthen the immune system. Next, we present to your attention a selection of effective time-tested recipes.
In its purest form
The classic option is to eat a dessert spoon of bee nectar 30-40 minutes before bedtime.
If you wish, you can drink it with a glass of water at room temperature, but this is not recommended for people prone to swelling. The fact is that the sugar components in honey can interfere with the removal of fluid from the body.

The fact is that honey and milk components form a viscous and enveloping syrup that has a number of properties: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, etc. Once on the surface of the throat, it not only has a softening effect, but also fights pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms.
In addition, the milk-honey drink affects the nervous system, relaxing and calming. As a rule, it is given to hyperactive children who have problems sleeping. The amino acids in the composition help normalize metabolic processes and improve the production of serotonin. Taken together, this creates a feeling of fullness and allows the child to fall asleep soundly and quickly.
What is noteworthy is that warm milk with honey at night can be prescribed to pregnant or lactating women. It is believed to prevent lactation problems.
With water
